Are the Polls Doing a Good Job of Predicting Election Results?

Introduction

After Donald Trumps loss in Iowa, I have been curious how good of job the polls are doing at predicting election results. To visualize this I took the Real Clear Politics average and the actual election results for Iowa and New Hampshire. Below, you are able to find a few visualizations that help to show the differences between the two.
